Ideally, this semester is a continuation of ARST437. While various printmaking media not considered first semester--color intaglio and lithography--are taught technically, each student is expected to adapt them to his/her particular vision. Students learn to develop a print through a series of proofs with critical consideration as an important input in this progression from idea sketch to final edition. Extensive use is made of the Davison print collection.

Students who have not taken ARST437 will need to learn basic etching techniques at the start of the semester, so they can expect a particularly intense beginning.
